The Meadow Pipit passage is gathering pace, with a number of small flocks over this morning, prior to the breeze picking up. About 40 in total going thru in an hour, comprising, on arrival 4 + 5 South, then 2 + 3, then 11, then 8-10 which lingered in the nearby landfill cell for a few minutes, 3+ alighted the telegraph wires with Goldfinch before moving off South and 4+ heading back onto the landfill around 10:00.
Based on the last few years, we should see these sorts of numbers and some larger flocks move through as we progress into October.
A pair of Mistle Thrush over the landfill East, c40 House Martin, and a few Swallow, was about it, warblers much reduced from yesterday.
